Rose’s game-winner caps monster effort to lead Wednesday’s S&Ds

Rose hung in the air for a split second before hitting a 20-foot game-winning shot at the buzzer Wednesday night to lead Chicago to a 106-104 victory over Milwaukee.

Rose’s off-balance shot just inside the 3-point line capped a masterful night that included 30 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists as the Bulls claimed their eighth straight victory.

“It was like a kid, all the things that you dream about,” Rose told the Associated Press. “It felt good. You’re on the road, going against a team that’s giving you their all and you hit a nice shot like that.”

It capped a big performance that boosted Rose to the top of Studs and Duds on a night that included several late game-winning shots across the association.
